Back from Langkawi

Just got back from the island of Langkawi for a brief break. We stayed at Mutiara Burau Bay, which had individual cabana-style hotel rooms. Nothing much to do except swim, eat, and swim. The kids certainly had a lot of fun. The last time I went to Langkawi was in 2000. New development : there's a Russian restaurant called USSR, a cigar bar called Cuba Libre (which is interesting, because I have just finished reading Elmore Leonard's book of the same name). We also got to see first hand homes that were demolished by the December 26 tsunami. More photos on Flickr.
